Officials said that Loudoun County Fire and Rescue responded to the 12,000 block of Stonehouse View Court just before 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 5, for an active garage fire with one person potentially still in the house. Firefighters arrived to a two-story single-family home with smoke and fire pouring out of the garage.
Officials said that there had also been reports of gunfire from within the home. To ensure safety, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and a helicopter from Fairfax County Police cleared the perimeter before the firefighters could approach the house to put out the fire.
A release said that firefighters “worked into the night to extinguish the fire.”
